Deficient Heart Function Syndrome: a new nursing diagnosis for people with heart failure.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesto identify whether the set of nursing diagnoses "Excessive fluid volume", "Decreased cardiac output", "Decreased activity tolerance", "Fatigue" and "Impaired comfort" constitutes the "Deficient Cardiac Function Syndrome" in people with heart failure.
methodsa cross-sectional analytical study, which included 360 participants who were assessed by a cardiology nurse who used the nursing process and NANDA-International classification. Latent class analysis and log-linear models were used to determine the occurrence of nursing diagnoses by cluster.
results"Fatigue" and "Excessive fluid volume" had the highest sensitivity; "Decreased cardiac output" and "Impaired comfort" had the highest specificity; "Decreased activity tolerance" had similar sensitivity and specificity. Latent class analysis for the new diagnosis included all diagnoses. Nine combinations of diagnostic statuses exhibited conditional dependence.
conclusionsthe concomitant presence and strong relationship between diagnoses provide evidence for the existence of a syndromic diagnosis in this population.
